Probably some sort of off-forum selling going on. As it seems he ranks them up, and they send back half of it (as i understand, for every 2 metits you get 1 smerit)

If so, that is not allowed. sMerit is not a commodity.

This might also be the latest one . Happened a few days ago in the romanian local section . https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177500.60
He gave 50 merits to a newbie with 4 posts for that single reply , found it odd , but assumed he was just overly generous cause the newbie supported his city.
Saw you were reffering to this in the op .

This is clear cut merit abuse. Probably a merit sale deal going on or Vlad2Vlad is trying to farm some accounts. He/she shamelessly thinks he/she can get away with it since merit abuse isn't moderated.

Please tell me you dropped an extra number there by mistake, do you mean $1 per merit? if it's really anywhere near $10 per merit then why Vlad2Vlad sent 271 merits to hornetsnest I highly doubt that hornetsnest would pay $2710 to get that 271 merit, so if this is anything, he is probably farming accounts and not actually selling merit, or he is not aware of how much they go for. Flag time? I'll watch until more evidence is presented and some consensus is formed.
Since trading merit is against the forum rules, shouldn't the accused member/s be reported rather than tagged? I mean what stops them from trading merit even with an active flag and a dozen negative feedback?

No, i've seen it for $10 and upwards. Not saying this is the case here, but fact is many people are desparate for merits and will gladly pay for just 1.
As you know, most bounties accept jr members or members minimum fir signature campaigns, so it's turning out to be a real shady off-forum business

I always thought that the reason some users sell merits for as much as $10/each is that some users just want a quick single merit to start bounty hunting and $10 isn't such a big amount. But when we start talking about ranking up to Sr, Hero or Legendary, it becomes impossible for anyone to consider spending that much. Since trading merit is against the forum rules, shouldn't the accused member/s be reported rather than tagged?

Isn't merit trading only against the rules if you are a merit source? I mean, we all agree that it's not a good thing to do, but the consensus from the community that something is not ok is one thing and being officially not allowed is another thing.

That sounds reasonable. Isn't merit trading only against the rules if you are a merit source? I mean, we all agree that it's not a good thing to do, but the consensus from the community that something is not ok is one thing and being officially not allowed is another thing.
To be honest, even after 2 years of being around, the "rules" are still confusing to me. If you read the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules it has no rules regarding the trading of merit, however, there is another pinned topic FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit It literally states: Selling merit is disallowed.
Do I think that is a forum rule even though it's not in the rules' topic? YES. Am I 100% right about it? No clue.

I mean what stops them from trading merit even with an active flag and a dozen negative feedback? No. Merit trading is an action that is first tagged. From what I know, I do not remember many cases of people getting banned for this. It is more in the sense of: If you are a merit source, and sell merits, then you will not be one much longer kind of rule.

Sure buddy... Edit : Checking hornetsnest posting history it's pretty obvious that he's another alt of Vlad , though it can't be proved with linked addresses etc , but seems like he has the same style of talking to himself like he's doing in the post lower with Vlad9Vlad.
This one is quite funny though , he's talking to himself OP , please add : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=837994 to your list .

Interesting fact , seems that this hornetsnest , Vlad + Apocalipsa are frequently talking to one another in such as : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.msg54155044#msg54155044https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=317658.msg53860609#msg53860609https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3015517.msg53823773#msg53823773
